I think these are pretty cool. They are early proto-money from Black Sea. Samatia, Olbia. Late 5th-4th Century.
the smaller of the two is 26mm. Text

Those are really interesting - I wonder are they stamped or cast?
What metal?

Shep, they are cast bronze.

I've always thought those were neat items. I've looked but never bought. I'm sure that will change. Cool pickup.
